Story
Two lovely New Jersey fur sisters, Chloe and Gracie, need our help! They have been diagnosed with Stomatitis, an immune-mediated disorder that affects the oral cavity, including the gums, tongue, and throat. This condition is characterized by chronic inflammation and ulceration of the oral tissues, leading to symptoms such as pain, drooling, difficulty eating, and weight loss.
In January, Gracie experienced a severe flare-up where she stopped eating completely and hid for days, which deeply worried her mom. Each time their condition resurfaces, they are given antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and pain medication. However, that is not a good quality of life for these girls!
The most effective solution is to partially or fully extract their teeth. This procedure will eliminate any surfaces that retain plaque, which can otherwise keep triggering an overactive immune response.
Chloe and Gracie are inseparable. They were rescued as tiny kittens and at 6 months of age were looking for their fur-ever home. Luckily, a compassionate animal lover whose senior kitty had passed over the rainbow bridge was looking to fill the void in her home. After meeting Chloe and Gracie she could not bear to separate these beautiful sisters; so she adopted them both!
The lowest estimate for each girl's procedure is $769.00 depending on how many teeth are removed. However, Chloe and Gracie's mom canβt afford it. She is disabled and relies on a fixed monthly income of $1,182.00 from social security, in addition to SNAP benefits.
Chloe and Gracie are only 3 years old; this procedure will drastically improve their quality of life. Please, can you help these lovely fur sisters live pain-free?
